Cincinnati businessmen gather at Fernbank Dam in this glass negative, a view that places a group of men at a dam site rather than in an office or meeting hall. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that supplied news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The title comes from caption information the agency wrote on the negatives and has not been verified, so the date and the men's names remain uncertain. Still, the image offers a useful glimpse of how business leaders were photographed at local industrial sites during the Bain era.
